I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

Yeah some people have actually no skills whatsoever in computers. They click icons but don’t understand what’s happening. I guess it’s like me with cars. :p
I’ve been trying to help my girlfriend with her computer lately. After several months I’ve gotten to the point that she understands that her documents are stored in files within folders on her MacBook, rather than existing only within Word or whatever software she used to create them.
She still struggles with intentionally saving them in designated folders, but we’re making progress.
To be fair, I blame this more on the design of OS X than on her.
Yeah for some reason this stuff is just really hard for some people. It doesn’t fit their brain. But other things will perfectly. I think human brains are just more different than we understand.
My girlfriend can remember all her dreams and retell them when she wakes up. And she is sometimes aware she is dreaming and can do anything in the dream. I would kill for that ability, it’s super cool. But to her, it’s not even interesting. I asked, why don’t you just fly around and explore the universe. And she just responded that since she knows it’s not real, it’s not interesting and pointless.
Oh wow - I have a lucid dream every once in a blue moon, and you betcha I’m flying all over the place. I guess it gets less exotic when it’s happening frequently.
